Version 1.2.9 of the Fiscal Client is available in the downloads section of the RetailForce website. When upgrading to this version, please note the implementation instructions, which are also available as a Word document in the Downloads directory.
Migration tool
One of the main innovations in this version is that the middleware provides a migration tool for fiscal systems in Austria. This makes it possible to take over data collection logs (DEP7/DCL7) and AES keys from other fiscal middleware systems from other manufacturers without having to take the corresponding cash registers out of operation in FinanzOnline and then register them again. When switching to the RetailForce Fiskal middleware, it is possible to continue working seamlessly with the existing DEP7 / DCL7 (data collection log according to §7 Cash Register Security Ordinance – “RKSV”). The user key (AES-256 key) is also reused.
Fiscal Client
The Fiscal Client is now also available via NuGet. The packages can be found on the website https://www.nuget.org/profiles/RetailForceDevelopment.
Furthermore, as of now a backup copy of the Fiscal Client can be created and a restore can be carried out if required. More information can be found in the RetailForce Solution Centre in the following article:https://support.retailforce.cloud/hc/en-gb/articles/4421675764497-Moving-FiscalClient-from-one-computer-to-another.
FiscalAT
Further improvements to this version mainly concern the Austria variant of the Fiscal Client:
- Documentation of the VAT positions was revised
- Added call “GetStartReceipt”
- Test methods for reporting status of cash registers, signature creation unit, annual receipt improved
- Last added line in DEP7 can be checked against FinanzOnline (Document Verification)
FiscalDE
In the German version, Fiskaly’s cloud TSE was released for productive operation.
RetailForce Cloud
Some changes and improvements have also been made to the RetailForce Cloud Portal.
In the main menu (left), the menu item “Information” now shows the essential characteristics of the different fiscal countries. Here you can see at a glance which document types must be transferred in a certain country.
For Austria versions, the date of the first or the current last DEP entry is displayed in the terminal insights. For systems in Germany, the date of the first daily closing performed on the terminal – since the RetailForce Fiscal Middleware went live – and the last daily closing created are displayed.
All changes and improvements can be found in the release notes of this version.
